Update your neutral living room

Turn your living room from bland neutral into a decorating success

Create a wall display
Hanging a group of patterned plates on the wall is an easy decorating idea and gauranteed to banish dull expanses of wall space. Choose different sized plates and finish off the look with a painted border.

Cosy up the sofa
Pile your sofa high with plenty of cushions. Knitted, crocheted and embroidered accessories are perfect for the homespun look.

Opt for patterned fabrics
Try covering a plain footstool in a fabric - a checked pattern is great for this warm scheme.

Add a rug
A woven rug will break up the large expanse of neutral carpet, adding visual interest and warmth.

Don't forget storage
Keep the living room clutter free with a storage basket. A large wicker one is suitably rustic and will double as a side table, too.
